Basically was getting annoyed jumping between 5 different sites during this winter storm season, so I built "StormWatch". It's a no-fuss, mobile-friendly webpage (dashboard) that shows all the stuff I was looking for, but in one simple UI. Features: - Real-time NWS alerts with safety tips - Snow/ice/precip accumulation forecasts (+wind) - Dynamic preparation checklists based on your alerts - Supply calculator for your household size - Regional weather news It's free, no login required, works on any device. Just enter your ZIP. https://jeisey.github.io/stormwatch/ Uses NWS and GDELT APIs and open source. Feel free to fork and modify however you'd like. For builders: - Used an API-testing agent to verify all endpoints, response patterns, types, and rate limits - Used a scope & validation agent to keep the slices simple, focused, and tested - VS-code Copilot (Sonnet 4 for dev agents + Opus 4.5 for scope and validation) | ||

Nice implementation, very slick. Very easy to get an overview without having to jump around, like you said. I did something similar for our local news and community site, but it is limited to nearby weather stations. | ||

Really nice, I’ve not seen weather and preparedness packaged this way (and so beautifully). Great work! | ||
